Introduction

This reference demonstrates the development of a context aware decision-making health informatics system with the objective to automate the analysis of human centric wellness and assist medical decision-making in healthcare.

The book introduces readers to the basics of a clinical decision support system. This is followed by chapters that explain how to analyze healthcare data for anomaly detection and clinical correlations. The next two sections cover machine learning techniques for object detection and a case study for hemorrhage detection. These sections aim to expand the understanding of simple and advanced neural networks in health informatics. The authors also explore how machine learning model choices based on context can assist medical professionals in different scenarios.
